Illustrated log books of the yachts ‘Norma’ and ‘Coquette’, of cruises off the West Coast of Scotland, and also to Brittany and the Channel Islands. Both yachts were owned by Sir Thomas Newnham Deane (1828-1899), an Irish architect. The logs were probably written by his friend, Joseph Manley Todd. They are illustrated with delightful, often humorous, pen and wash drawings by Deane of the party and places they visited.
